About A.H. Benjamin

A.H. Benjamin is an established children's author with 30 titles to his credit. His books have sold worldwide with more than 20 translations including Chinese Korean Turkish and Arabic. Some of his work has been adapted for radio television and theatre. He's married with four grown up children and four young grandchildren who have all been his inspiration for writing. He lives in Lincolnshire with wife Trisha. His hobbies are reading writing walking and playing the playstation 2 (but only football!). When he was a little boy he dreamt of being a cowboy... He still does! From an early age I have had in mind to draw and play with colours so much so that I naturally went to the National School of Fine Arts in Caen which I attended from 1991 to 1995 (option visual communication). Right after a short stay in the multimedia market I illustrated my first album for the young Who is sticking out the tongue? published by Magnard Edition in 2002 some more followed. Moreover I work for the young children press Milan Press Fleurus Press. I also work for publishing agencies and administrations. I live and work in Normandy where I was born. While I am picturing a story I please myself thinking up a funny and coloured world with a hint of tenderness.
